This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

thank you so much for sending me the info for my doctor. it actually served to purposes. i sent it to my husband at work to copy and he read it. so now he is like 'that lady from england went thru that' 'you're gonna be ok,just wait it out' now my doctor,he is so VERY protective. he put me up to 200mg doxy for 6 weeks then he will add the roxy. IF i am herxing
it is bad so we need to take it slowly. so i upped it and i feel like crap again. but my memory is awesome, if i could stay awake long to impress people
thanks again

Shell, that's wonderful news, not only your doctor but especially your husband. It certainly doesn't help not to have a spouse on board, like a few I could mention.

As well as your memory, I notice an ironic sense of humor in the last sentence!

Yes! I was WAITING for a post about memory. Clarity of mind seems to come back first for a lot of people. The upside is, you can comprehend. The downside is, you want MORE, and you want it NOW. That can be managed. I am so happy to hear this.

And, as one whose 'other half' basically disappeared while I trudged through this protocol alone, I can tell you I'd rather have an understanding partner any day. Not having him on board contributed to the problems. Give your husband a hug for me!

I am now on minocycline 100 mg and 400 mg NAC daily. That's what I could get the neurologist to agree to at this point. But I am not concerned now because I was determined to get an appointment at Vanderbilt, which I did. It is set for early December. I am seeing Dr. Sriram. I am sooo happy to be going. I hope that by seeing Dr. Sriram and starting on the complete antibiotic protocol I can show the doctors here that it does work. Just maybe one of them will become convinced!
